Indications for Use
The Nouvo Safety Set IV Catheter are indicated for insertion into a patient's vascular system to sample blood. Infusion of fluids such as solutions, parenteral nutrition of other drugs. The catheters may be used for any patient population with consideration given to patient size, appropriateness for the solution being infused, and duration of therapy. The 18G-22G catheters may be used intravascularly with power injectors at a maximum pressure of 300 psi.
Device Story
The Nouvo Safety Set is an over-the-needle peripheral intravascular catheter system designed for vascular access; it incorporates a passive safety clip to prevent needle stick injuries. The device includes a radiopaque polyurethane catheter, needle cover, introducer needle, stabilization platform, integrated extension tubing, C-clamp, and needle-free connector. It is used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals for blood sampling and fluid/drug infusion. The device features an immediate flashback system to confirm vessel entry. Upon needle removal, the passive safety clip automatically engages to shield the needle tip. The system is provided sterile and non-pyrogenic for single use. It is compatible with power injectors for specific gauges. The device benefits patients by providing secure vascular access while reducing the risk of sharps injuries to clinicians.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including compliance with ISO 10555-1, ISO 10555-5, ISO 80369-7, and ISO 23908. Biocompatibility was established per ISO 10993 series. Sterilization and shelf-life (5 years) were validated via ETO cycle validation and accelerated aging (ASTM F1980).
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Polyurethane (catheter/tubing), Cellulose Acetate Propionate/ABS (adapter), ABS (grip/luer), Polycarbonate (tip shield), Polyacetal (clamp). Sensing: Flashback visualization. Energy: None (manual). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Ethylene oxide. Standards: ISO 10555-1/5, ISO 80369-7, ISO 23908, ISO 10993, ASTM F1980.
Indications for Use
Indicated for insertion into patient's vascular system for blood sampling, fluid infusion, parenteral nutrition, and drug administration. Suitable for any patient population based on size, solution appropriateness, and therapy duration. 18G-22G catheters compatible with power injectors up to 300 psi.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously.

Dear Sunita Teekasingh:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"
